Airsoft injuries!
« on: January 14, 2013, 02:11:33 pm »
Airsoft is an active sport so accidents are always going to occur!

My worst and currently still recovering from injury occurred back in November whilst at Combat South Woodland with the team. I had been their no longer than 30 minutes before I decided to sprint across a bridge, fall over and fracture my ankle in 2 places. Have to say it wasn't my finest moment!

Best thing was the team filmed it happen! I would love to say it was theatrical but, as you'll see, I just fall over haha! Enjoy!



So after an operation, 3 nights in hospital and a total of over 7 weeks in a cast I got my cast off 4 days ago and am starting to walk again! :)

Hopefully will be back airsofting soon!

Anyone else had any injuries?
